I do wonder if group flow and individual flow have more to do with different skill sets, and which path best suits the people you have, as opposed to the idea that group or individual flow is more effective. Like, I like to whiteboard and m

I use mini-pomodoro to build momentum when I can’t get started. Start with 2-3 minutes “work”, 1 minute break. Keep bumping those up toward 25/5. Usually by the time I’ve done a few rounds, I don’t want a break and I’ve got my momentum

It depends on your current work style. Unless you’re pushing parenting duties solely into your partner, like the absentee father who’s trying to make partner at the law firm, you’re going to be limited to working 40 hours per week, or less,

And yet, if you have two tasks that each take 1 hour, and only 90 minutes until the deadline, only one task will be completed by you, regardless of quadrant, and you will then be reminded that priority is singular.

You are too cynical. Don’t advise people do avoid something that might help them, even if only due to placebo. You probably have something more precise to say that’s worth saying, like how many support groups are fixed mindset and result in

How much of it comes down to whether it’s built to use, or built to sell? Millennia ago someone built the pyramids. Centuries ago someone built castles. Those weren’t built to sell. Today when homes are built they often use cheaper material

Interesting! Thank you. So craton areas, say, near the equator where icebergs may not reach, could possibly contain remnants from indefinitely old civilizations?

Erosion would happen, but also icebergs would wipe out anything like buildings during the next ice age. And eventually subduction would consume the existing earth’s surface into the inner molten layer, leaving behind zero trace, but that mi

Can you explain from a high level why I’d want to use Django Ninja over DRF? There’s a vibe, or assumption around Ninja that it’s “newer”, or “like FastAPI”, or “the way forward”, none of which are objective benefits per se. I wouldn’t even

It’s the nature of the study that parent comment is referring to. If a study is self-reporting, it’s an observational study which can only establish correlation, meaning the study can only say, “there might be something here that warrants a

I understand that you’re describing one set of benefits, that are beneficial in some circumstances. But it’s all about requirements. The benefits you describe are not universal benefits. Mobile app stores, where users have to install apps,

Textual[0] does this for CLI apps. That’s not for full GUI apps, but it’s very DOM-like, uses CSS selectors, etc. and a cool option when it meets your needs. [0] https://github.com/Textualize/textual

This is not “very convincing” if it doesn’t meet your requirements. There are plenty of ways to distribute thick client apps that are usable from any client, easy to update, and which don’t have access to local resources, like Remote Deskto

And now the user needs a server running somewhere. We tried this approach once, for this exact reason that we didn’t want an “old thick client”. Our app interacted heavily with the user’s OS and their line of business app, and it was a nigh

Chess engines are a good reference for this. The decision-making part is a CLI that plugs into a GUI like WinBoard[0] or Arena[1]. There’s a protocol the engine and GUI follow, such as the WinBoard or UCI[2] protocols, which just exchange t

Most commonly I see people use Alembic to migrate SQLAlchemy and Pydantic models. But I tend to just use Django. Every time I try piecing together the parts (ex FastAPI, Pydantic, Alembic, etc) I reach a point where I realize I’m recreating
